Chandler Personal Injury Attorneys attorney in the West Valley

On January 12, 2023, Danny Glen Tiner was scrolling TikTok while driving a commercial garbage truck on I-10 near Chandler Boulevard. Going 68 in a 55-mph construction zone. He never touched the brakes. Five people died. FBI phone forensics confirmed the TikTok use. He was sentenced to 22.5 years.

That crash happened on the same stretch of I-10 that thousands of Chandler residents drive every day. It's one of the most dangerous freight corridors in Arizona. It runs right through the city.

Three Freeways, One City

Chandler sits at the intersection of I-10, Loop 202, and Loop 101. That interchange complex creates high-speed merge and diverge zones where vehicles traveling 65 to 75 mph weave across multiple lanes. The geometry is complicated. The volume is heavy. The consequences of a mistake at those speeds are severe.

ADOT's 2024 data shows 4,267 crashes in Chandler. 14 were fatal. 15 people died. 1,856 were injured. Those numbers don't capture the crashes that happen on the freeway segments running through the city, which ADOT codes to the highway rather than the city.

Price Road and Queen Creek: 11th Most Dangerous in the Valley

MAG's Top 100 Crash-Risk Intersections list ranks Price Road and Queen Creek Road at number 11 in the entire metro region. It's the only East Valley surface intersection in the top 20. 108 crashes at a single intersection over the study period.

Dobson Road and Ray Road ranks 71st with 148 crashes. Arrowhead Drive and Ray Road ranks 57th. The Dobson Road corridor appears repeatedly in Chandler crash data. A fatal fiery wreck at Dobson and Highland Street in May 2025 killed one person at what should be a routine intersection.

Alcohol Kills More Than Half

Eight of 15 people killed in Chandler traffic crashes in 2024 died in alcohol-related collisions. That's 53%. The highest ratio of any East Valley city in the ADOT data.

Chandler has a growing restaurant and nightlife scene along Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue. When an impaired driver causes a crash, Arizona's dram shop law may create additional liability for the bar or restaurant that served them. If the driver was visibly intoxicated when served, the establishment shares responsibility.

Truck Crashes on the I-10 Corridor

The Danny Tiner crash put a name on something anyone who drives I-10 through Chandler already knows. Commercial trucks share this road with passenger vehicles, and when something goes wrong at highway speed, the weight difference is catastrophic. A loaded semi outweighs a sedan by 23 to 1.

We handle truck crash cases across Maricopa County. We pull FMCSA carrier records, electronic logging device data, and ADOT crash reports on every trucking case. The evidence in these cases has limited retention windows. An attorney needs to send a spoliation letter on day one to preserve the records before they're overwritten.

Frequently asked questions

How many crashes happen in Chandler each year?
ADOT's 2024 data shows 4,267 crashes in Chandler. 14 were fatal, killing 15 people. The I-10, Loop 202, and Loop 101 interchange complex that runs through the city creates high-speed merge and diverge zones that concentrate serious crashes.
What are the most dangerous intersections in Chandler?
The MAG Top 100 list includes Price Road and Queen Creek Road at 11th most dangerous in the entire metro, Arrowhead Drive and Ray Road at 57th, and Dobson Road and Ray Road at 71st. Price and Queen Creek is the only East Valley surface intersection in the top 20.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Chandler?
Two years from the date of the crash under ARS 12-542. For wrongful death, two years from the date of death under ARS 12-611. Truck crash cases need faster action because electronic logging device data and carrier records can be overwritten within days.
Do you handle truck crash cases on I-10 in Chandler?
Yes. The I-10 corridor through Chandler is one of the most dangerous freight corridors in Arizona. We pull FMCSA carrier records, ELD data, and ADOT crash reports on every trucking case. The Danny Tiner crash near Chandler Boulevard killed five people. We understand what these cases require.
What does it cost to hire an injury attorney for a Chandler crash?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. No hourly fees, no retainer, no risk.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Arizona's pure comparative negligence rule under ARS 12-2505 means you can recover even if you were partly responsible. Your award gets reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies will try to shift blame onto you. An attorney changes that dynamic.
Do you have an office in Chandler?
Our offices are in Buckeye and Maricopa. We handle cases across Maricopa County including Chandler. The I-10 corridor connects all of us. Distance from our office doesn't affect how we handle your case.
What about DUI crashes in Chandler?
More than half of Chandler's traffic fatalities in 2024 were alcohol-related. Eight of 15 people killed died in alcohol-related crashes. That's the highest ratio of any East Valley city. Arizona's dram shop law may hold bars liable if they served a visibly intoxicated driver who caused your crash.
